The Work: 12-18

[cane since birth]

I think they got lazy recruiting WR's. Look at the commits and targets.

I'm excited to see Anthony McFarland jr.

I'm not sure they're very good at evaluating them to begin with. Their strategy seems to be "we gonna go after exotic dimes only, and if we strike out, we're okay sitting at home jerking off."

Richt never had stud WRs at UGA. Dugans is a good coach, but his targeting has been all over the place.

AJ Green

1 stud in 15 years.The much maligned Butch had Santana,Wayne and Andre at the same time.That's landing elite wrs.

They were separate classes if im not mistaken, and richt also got brown who was a 5 star wideout, Malcolm Mitchell etc, also got richards last year

 

[ATL-BRAD]

He also had Mohammed Massaquoi and Terrence Edwards who were both beast in college

 

[supersaiyanshel]

I don't think the question is so much as to Richt's ability to land highly rated WR's. It's about his ability to evaluate them. I forgot about Mitchell (who is actually from my parents home town of Valdosta, GA).

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.

Man the momentum has come to screeching hault

No disrespect to Pete, but he doesn't know everything. He just reports what he hears and offers opinion. He does it as well as anyone in the business, but that doesn't mean he knows everything going on behind the scenes. I'd even bet he holds stuff back as well since I'd he didn't, his sources would dry up. Coaches frown upon a lot of their stuff getting out.

AJ Green

I'm talking overall. We all know about Green, but when you look at the entirety of his tenure....Richt was there for 15 seasons. Think about that. Very pedestrian WR corps.

How many elite WR's have come out of the state of Georgia in the last 15 years? I don't recall many. That could be one reason Richt's program didn't churn out elite NFl players at the position. The best seem to come from Louisiana, Cali, Texas, and of course south Florida.

Off the top of my head Demaryius Thomas is from Georgia. Also, there was this guy nicknamed Megatron who is from Georgia as well. Something Johnson. Heard he recently retired.

AJ green on the other hand, is from South Carolina.

Obviously the state has produced a few. Funny that it's Georgia tech who sniped those guys form under his nose, because they otherwise pretty much took a back seat to him recruiting wise.

The other thing is you don't necessarily just have to have one supremely talented guy. You can have a bunch of good receivers and win a National Championship. Can't base everything off what Alabama's doing. Clemson just had a bunch of really good receivers last year. Their top receiver will suspend it.

What do you mean you guys can't figure it out? That's all he is...speed

All he does is runs screens, verts, and slants all day...and his slant routes are horrendous and poorly ran.

If he came here, he would just return kicks

that's what coaching is for..

You don't teach a kid to run routes at this point...you refine technique and then add on with giving them option routes to run.

A Kidd who only runs 2 routes and was taught the simplest of screen plays doesn't belong in high level P5 football no matter how fast

Go watch Mike Harley's tape and then watch his, You'll see a huge difference between him and Quantino

BS.

There's former HS QUARTERBACKS playing WR all over college football.

Guess where they learned to run routes..

Go find me another former QB that didn't have to sit out a year and directly played WR or had significant amount of playing that already wasn't practicing as a WR off campus in the off season

Go ahead, I'll wait

That was never the argument. Nobody said a single word about him not needing time to learn to run routes.

You said you cannot teach a player to run routes at this point. Then you went ahead and gave an example which disproves your original statement. You ABSOLUTELY CAN teach someone how to run routes in college even if they've been playing QB their entire life.

Edwards was a bad boy, but didn't Richt inherit him?

Massaquoi was aight.

You mean like Torrance who was RS and moved to receiver and spent a whole year learning receiver lol

Yes exactly lol

EVERY year there's a HS QB that projects as a WR at the next level, **** there's even NCAA QBs who project as WR in the NFL.

But every scout must be wasting their time, because it's too late to teach them how to run routes.

LMFAO at someone saying you don't teach routes at this level and you shouldn't be a P5 option if you have to learn them. That right there is possibly the dumbest f'ing example of someone trying to talk about something like they know what they're talking about, but in reality they don't.

 

[caneinpsl]

If the close is McFarland, Dean, Conliffe, Herbert, Slaton, Harley, Holmes, Edwards then really the only hole is an elite WR. Every player besides Dykstra is Miami quality. It would be a good class and after 15 years of bullshyt on the field a top 10-15 class is very good.

If we get the other five olinemen, do we really need Dykstra? Is it possible we drop him once/if we secure Herbert and Slaton's commitments?

Thanks. I wasn't inferring they should drop him. I haven't really watched his tape, and so many on the forum seem down on him. Just was curious if they really want 6 this cycle.

Yea...because they were a QB usually with tremendous athletic ability....you're talking about a receiver who has no skill other than he's fast

Lmfao at you posting in general

You're the same guy that goes "oh he's so fast" then say he was a jag and shouldn't have been recruited because he hasn't done anything

Even though "you can't teach that kind of speed"

The two Heritage lineman and Dean are our most important recruits left. A halfway competent offensive line opens up our entire offense.

Great lines win titles!
